(Freya's POV)"Get away from me!" I shouted, loudly. I tried to push him.My eyes widened in surprise as I heard someone knocking on the door, I kept trying to push Ash to let me go."Are you out of your mind?! Let go of me, you bastard!" I shouted. I didn't want my employees to see it and think badly of me.Right at that moment, the door opened and my body stiffened with fear and panic. I kept pushing Ash, but he grinned with satisfaction as he saw my face turn pale.Instead of letting me go, he deliberately kissed my lips. I was frightened and panicked when I saw the door open. Just then, I saw Henry standing in the doorway with a shocked expression."Damn it, what have you done?!" he shouted angrily.I pushed Ash's body roughly and wiped my lips. I ran straight to Henry who wanted to beat Ash up. I held both his hands, trying to calm him down."No, Henry. Don't," I pleaded in a trembling voice. I gripped his wrist tightly.I didn't want another fight, especially not in my office. I

(Freya's POV)That evening, Henry came to the house to pick us up for dinner. Henry had booked a fancy, expensive restaurant in the center of town. Hazel and Violet couldn't wait to get to the restaurant and stayed in the car the whole time. They sang as Henry played their favorite songs.We sang along with joy and smiles that couldn't be separated from us. We were like a happy little family. And suddenly I thought of how if Ash and I loved each other, surely our marriage would be as beautiful as what I see today.However, Henry is not my husband, but he is like family to me. My daughters have also considered Henry as their father because, since childhood, Henry has replaced Ash as their godfather.After arriving in front of the restaurant building, Henry immediately invited us to one of the tables that he had reserved. It was a restaurant on the top floor and we were seated next to a glass wall so we could see the view of the city full of lights from above only.Hazel sat with me and
(Freya's POV)"Henry," I whisper while trying to push him away and turn my face away. But he pulled my body until my body hit his broad chest. He pressed down with all the arm strength he had.And I was surprised that Henry had a muscular body that exceeded my expectations. He was so gentle and masculine, so soft and caring, but when he looked at me with such a serious expression on his face. I knew he had a slight image of a dominant man who doesn't like to be rejected."Freya, please..." he whispered in my face. He kept looking at me while I didn't dare look at him because I didn't know what to answer.Over the years we've gotten to know each other and become friends. I never imagined that a day like this would happen to me. I always thought that all of Henry's kind and considerate gestures were purely because we were friends and he cared for me like family.But now, all of a sudden he confessed his love to me and made me feel so shocked that I didn't know how to react. Especially a
(Freya's POV)"Are you ready?" he asked as he arrived at my house to pick me up.Today I was going out with Henry for the first time as a woman and a man, not as friends."Yes," I replied with a faint smile.I felt a little awkward about our current situation. Because all this time I only considered Henry as my friend and nothing more than that. After learning that Henry loved me, I didn't know what to do."Freya," Henry called.I turned my head to look at him. "Yes, Henry?""You can behave as you always have. Even though I've declared my love for you, you can still think of me as your usual Henry. The only thing that has changed is my attitude and feelings towards you," he told me.My shoulders, which had been tense, became more relaxed. There was no more burden and awkwardness after hearing Henry's words."Okay," I said. I hurriedly changed the subject. "Where are we going?" I asked, then."Let's go eat together and after that, we can go see a movie?""That's a good idea," I told hi
(Ash's POV)That day, I went to a restaurant with my client to discuss work matters. After Freya snatched all the clients from my company, I slowly went back to looking for companies that were willing to work with my company. And little by little, I will bring my company back to the top. I won't let my company go bankrupt.However, while I was having a serious conversation with my client, I saw Freya and Henry having lunch together. They looked so happy and romantic. And it made me so angry and jealous when I saw it."Sir...""Sir?""Oh, uh, yes?" I immediately turned to my client. I was so focused on staring at Freya that I didn't realize I was talking to someone else. "Oh, I'm sorry.""Is she your wife?" he asked as he looked up to where my eyes were fixed. Freya was sitting alone as Henry had previously left his seat."Wife?""If you want to see your wife, we can end our meeting today. And I will send you our cooperation contract as soon as I prepare it," he said in a friendly mann
(Freya's POV)My heart was beating very fast and my body was still shaking violently after I managed to escape from Ash. He was the craziest of the craziest men. I don't know what he was thinking until he dared to do something like that to her.I immediately went back inside the restaurant and tried to be calm so Henry wouldn't know that I had just met Ash. I didn't want another fight between the two of them.But when I got back into the restaurant, Henry was talking to the waiter and security. He looked very worried looking for me while carrying my bag that was left on my seat.I anxiously approached Henry. "Henry," I called in a low voice.He immediately looked back and stared at me with his face already pale with worry. He runs over to me and hugs me so tightly that I can hardly breathe."Fuck, Freya!" he yells loudly. His embrace tightens as I try to push him away."H-Henry...""You don't know how I felt when I came back and you weren't in your seat!" he exclaimed frantically.I f
(Freya's POV)Today was a weekend and we had made an appointment with Henry to go camping. Henry had prepared everything beforehand and we were picked up in the morning.Hazel and Violet looked very happy and enthusiastic as they got into the car for the trip to the campsite. We were going to stay overnight at the camping site and Henry had brought a tent for us.After two hours of traveling, we finally arrived at the camping spot. It was in the forest and there were tons of people camping there too. Mostly families and couples.Henry and I set up our tents while Hazel and Violet playfully gathered pine cones for the fire. Every now and then I keep an eye on them so they don't go too far because even though there are a lot of people there, I'm worried that something bad might happen to them."This place is so crowded," Henry said as he picked up a hammer to hit the iron that pulled the tent up."Yeah. Hazel and Violet look really happy," I said with a small smile."Are you happy too?"
